# Partial Update Intercompany Journal Entry

`PATCH /coa/api/intercompany-journal-entry/{id}`

Performs a partial update of an intercompany journal entry, allowing modification of specific fields without replacing the entire entry.

        This endpoint supports partial updates to:
        - Journal entry metadata (memo, date, currency, reference number)
        - Individual transaction modifications
        - Entity exchange rate adjustments
        - Vendor, department, and tag assignments
        - Account categorizations and amounts

        Key differences from PUT:
        - Only specified fields are updated (vs. full replacement)
        - Maintains existing data for unspecified fields
        - Supports granular transaction modifications
        - Preserves audit trail and timestamps
        - Allows incremental changes without full transaction rebuilds

        Validation requirements:
        - Modified transactions must maintain entity balance (debits = credits)
        - Cannot modify entries in closed accounting periods
        - All referenced accounts, vendors, departments must be active
        - Exchange rates must be valid for multi-currency transactions
        - Account assignments must be appropriate for transaction types
